PAM 360-518 Know Your Enemy - The Viet Cong 1966-03-08
"Literally translated, the phrase Viet Cong (VC) means Vietnamese Communist, and those who are Viet Cong employ the whole Communist arsenal of deceit and violence. A Viet Cong is a man, woman, or a tough fighter, with words or weapons, for what he is taught to call the “liberation” of South Vietnam-the Republic of Vietnam."
